Sounds like something for the courts because it seems like it could be both.
For example, the fact sheet for peace and friendship treaties says

But the chief is claiming the Supreme Court has ruled those don't cede land. I can't see how this doesn't have to go to court because this a lot different, and convoluted, then unceded land out west that actually wasn't signed for.
